Many of the cases involve incidents on Penn State's campus. Almost all of the men were part of Sandusky's charity, The Second Mile, as kids.

The 68-year-old has said he is innocent from day one.

Sandusky's defense: He never did anything sexually explicit, but he did take shared showers with young boys and touched their bare legs. That behavior was innocent, not sexual, he says. And his lawyer says he's being accused by troubled men who see this as an opportunity to cash in on a lawsuit.

Attorney Joe Amendola has also given reporters a peek into his defense theory that many of them know each other.

Prosecutors say Sandusky preyed on the vulnerable, created a life of fame and goodwill that gave him the perfect cover to abuse, and used his charity to find victims.
